Towamencin police investigating burglary, theft incidents

TOWAMENCIN — Towamencin police said Wednesday afternoon they’re investigating two separate incidents — one a residential burglary in which thousands of dollars worth of jewelry was stolen, and the other the theft of copper from area cell towers.

Police said that sometime between the hours of 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 3, a home on the 600 block of Conestoga Lane was burglarized — a resident reported that when she returned to the house she discovered that a quantity of jewelry valued at approximately $28,000 was missing. There was no forced entry to the residence, according to police.

Meanwhile, police said that nine copper ground bars, valued at approximately $4,500, from cell towers on the 1200 block of Snyder Road were taken “sometime over the past several or more months.” No forced entry to the cell tower sites was observed, police said.

Anyone with information about either incident is asked to call the Towamencin Township Police Department Criminal Investigations Unit at (215) 368-7606.
